Remember that costume armor set you could get a long time ago by purchasing energy? The one that was actually looked cool? The one that OOO abandoned even though it did really well? Just wondering, why don't they bring that back? No doubt they'd make a lot of money.
So yeah, please try to comment a lot and say great stuff about the energy event if you want the Rose Regalia back, since that way if the Devs do read it they'll see how much money they could make off another R.R. event.
perhaps they have a crippling fear of money and success
If they sold the Rose Regalia all the time, it wouldn't be cool and valuable any more. Most games with a cashshop will run specials with bonus items several times per year, typically seasonal. Just be patient and they'll run the event again.
I'll have to disagree on this. The majority of players that purchased the sets initially will feel cheapened if the exact same item set comes back out as a seasonal option. The entire reason it was such a great costume was the fact that it was termed "Limited edition", players who were here in the initial launch of the game were rewarded for their vested interest and support of the developers . If the event were to happen again I would hope that it would be a different recoloring all together than the original three if it was to even come back at all.
GAIS.
What if they bring it back with Purple Rose set?
:D
Also, blue rose. I can't think of any other significant rose-colors, but I agree with Stupy and Starlin.
The Rose Regalia sets are supposed to be special and hard to get. Introducing new recolors would make the original sets even rarer and more special, but would give current players a new opportunity to get a limited edition costume set.
Why bring back rose regalia set? Make something new!
Bomberman suit just doesn't cut it.
A man after my own heart. Though I do think I would look dashing in purple I'll have to pass. I'll leave that to Provi. Someone has to make purple look incredible.
A newer costume set would inspire me to get into collecting mode. Even if they are bound I know I would want it for myself. Even the recoloring idea is one I can support.
New costume items should not be bound when acquiring, otherwise they'll be not tradeable and less people will want them, especially in larger numbers.
They're attentive when there's a large enough desire for something. Or if the idea themselves are very good. I imagine that there could be a better than average chance of something occurring. But I think we all need to take into account that at the moment the team is probably more focused on things like finishing the content for the new release.
But we can sit here and discuss our ideas and deliberate. Any company that cares would take the time to at least browse through their suggestions forums. It's free think tanking and consumer surveying rolled into one.
Edit:
As for why they would care, the unbound Rose Regalia sets kind of set a precedent that seems to have sparked the whole costume sets being bound to a character. The random rolling lotto essentially promoted many purchases (ie: large influx of cash, it did so well they extended the offer), allowing players to get and trade for the sets they truly desired. This unfortunately meant that the unbound sets (Something that was unavoidable with a random system of distribution as to allow players to get what they want) meant that players could hoard those items and let them appreciate in value and make a large sum of ce by reselling them at a later date. They don't want to promote that behavior and have odd forms of inflation so they've bound items.
If OOO was to release a new set of Rose Regalia Recolors (see what I did there) the easiest method would be to attach a specific color set to a unique purchase ID. Something along the lines of three new color swaps for the set at $20 per energy/costume pack. The three item bundles could then be used to bypass the need for an unbound set and allow players to pick and choose the color they want. Another random lotto distribution would only result in more sets being hoarded and resold for an ungodly amount of CE.
This pretty much could apply as a system to any new costume sets that they would decide on, and financially speaking a numerous amount of collectors will no doubt spend spend spend to get them all.
Think I'm being paranoid about the current unbound sets? Wait a year. See what it'll cost for one by then. I hope you have a spare kidney.

"Why bring back rose regalia set? Make something new! Bomberman suit just doesn't cut it."
I should kiss you but I won't. However purple and blue are quite tempting...
I like your ideas about new colored Rose Regalia, and this seems to be the most realistic option for SK to go with while increasing the value of the first Rose Regalia sets even more. Keep posting alot on this page in favor of new Rose Regalia sets so the devs go for it.
Hasn't there even been some sort of an official promise that those costumes won't be available again by "normal means" (like purchasing energy) when they were first obtainable? I never bought one either, but I think the players who did, did it in the confidence that there won't be easier ways to get them in the future.
The topic of conversation actually shifted the discussion to "make a recolor but don't touch the initial sets".
It would only increase the rarity of the original sets and allow a new bevy of colors for other players. I having the original sets wouldn't mind more being put out if they were a recolor. I know I'd end up buying ce if it allowed me access to those items.
Purple hat with a feather? My, I might start acting quite like Dolemite.
Disagree to this one.
Almost everyone who has ever bought or paid a large amount for a piece of this armor - either to invest, wear, or sell - will feel extremely irked if they reintroduce it again.
In addition though, it weakens the value and the urge to buy more if there ever are future Limited Edition sets. If three rings were to simply keep bringing back 'Limited' sets, why spend lots of money buying multiple pieces if you know you can just get them again later? A limited set isn't so limited anymore if you can keep getting it.
The draw and the value to these is their rarity. I support -new- limited edition sets, but not a reintroduction of the Rose Regalia. Yes, it's costly, and yes, it's not easy to get - but it's a slap in the face to longtime players and every single person who paid in hard-earned CE if they were to bring it back again in this manner.
Why bring it back?
Make more unique costumes.
Rose Regalia promotion came with introduction of thrusting foil-like swords (hence we got musketeer hats and tabards). Instead of re-introducing Rose Regalia sets I’d rather see new limited edition costumes that would come along with new weapons/equipment/monsters. For example, if new whip-like-mid-range-swords will be introduced, they could be followed by Adventurous Archeologist promotion with Indiana Jones costume.
Now that I think about it, I guess I just want a costume that's less lame than the Bombhead masks. Maybe that'll come with Lockdown.
You have allot of new topics, and very few comment's...
Yes, bringing this back would be cool. but all the people who already paid 100k for regalia would get pretty mad.
